Since Darger is Coordinator, she can make all the changes and add new facilities to the recycling and littering activities. I’m wanting to discuss her about providing more trashcans here and there and also proving more recycling activities on campus. I think she will be interested in my letter because it is responsibility if there is issues about litter or recycling is occurred, and I’m sure she will be happy to help me about my issues about littering on campus.

In a competitive market to which Johnson and Johnson operates, the smallest of errors can lead to consequences which can cut revenue. When large mistakes occur, millions of dollars are lost, and even worse, there is a loss of customer confidence. Johnson and Johnson has had numerous recalls in their consumer healthcare division recently, which rocked the organization’s once sound image, and diminished its profits. These recalls have hurt Johnson and Johnson’s stocks and cost the company about $900 million in sales last year (Rockoff, 2011).
The company spent $179 million on R&D in 2017 alone (Research & Development, n.d.). With this budget, they are able to identify shifts in customers preferences, improve upon existing products and to deliver the new superior products they are known for.
Dmitry Orlov held a conference titled Definancialisation, Deglobalisation, Relocalisation in 2009. His discussion mainly focused on the sustainability of our economy. Sustainability occurs when our way of living is proportionately matched with our economic standing and well-being. The sustainability rate in our country is too low and should be increased by the reserves for the production of items such as oil and fossil fuels. However, he proposed that sustainability did not need to be factored in with the fatality percentage. He strongly believes that citizens should prepare for economic hard times without an abundant amount of money, less imported goods, and the capabilities of providing their own needs. His thoughts could work in theory and could help our economy, currently, if we followed his suggestions.
